Jacques Renault x Paradis, this sounds like the ideal combo. The Brooklyn-based DJ had not released any personal material for 2 years (The Tuesday EP), focusing on gigs and remixes (and probably label management).

With respect to mysterious parisian duo formed by Simon Mény & Pierre Rousseau (Paradis, for those who don’t follow- interview via Dazed Digital), they have been know so far at the production duty, with 2 acclaimed EP (Parfait Tirage then Je m’ennuie) released on New-York nu disco guru Tim Sweeney‘s label Beats In Space.

The « Back To You EP » is is scheduled to drop on January 14 on wax / 28 in digital download, on one of Jacques labels, Let’s Play House. Be patient!

The Frenchiest British producers David Shaw has been quite the buzz for a couple of months under his real name, after several years of music aka Siskid.

New moniker and new project, with a less electro and more pop rock / new wave universe.
His album « So It Goes » , released late October, follows the EP « Infected » and « The Jackal » on the artist’s own label, Her Majesty’s Ship.

We have chosen to share with you the groovy « Trance in Mexico » , which you may have already spotted in sets from DJs like Get A Room among others.

You may download the single or the whole album as MP3 on iTunes, or as a CD at Parisian trendy shop Colette. Enjoy!

More than one year after the realease of « Nuit de rêve » (see review here for instance), their third album in 10 years, Maud Geffray and Sébastien Chenut aka Scratch Massive delivered last month their new EP, « Paris » , out of which we picked up the huge remix by Parisian outfit Darabi

« Paris » is full of featurings as on the audio side, you may recognize the voice of Icelandic act GusGus’ leader, Daniel Agust; and on the video side (see above), French actress Cécile Cassel directed by Zoé Cassavetes, who has already directed a couple of videos for the French duo.

If La Ritournelle by Sébastien Tellier used to be stuck on repeat in your audio player a couple of years ago, changes are you will behave the same with « The Fall » by mysterious Los Angeles-based outfit, Rhye.

Watch the video for this wonderful ballad above; and before the album is released early 2013, download the EP as MP3 on iTunes.
An as a bonus, the remix by legendary producer Maurice Fulton (see above). Enjoy!
